1 1 y separately published work icon Oh My Rapture Gemma White , Carindale : Interactive Publications , 2022 26293807 2022 selected work poetry 'In Oh My Rapture, Gemma White draws on her own lived experiences with bipolar, and her attempts to transcend it through the power of her imagination and the creation of art. Entwined throughout the poems in this collection are allusions to themes in The Red Hand Files, as every poem is a direct response to a different file. Yet each poem also stands on its own, a testament to fandom but with a self-awareness that imbues each piece of writing with unique insights from the poet herself.'

1 y separately published work icon Furniture is Disappearing Gemma White , Carindale : Interactive Publications , 2014 7276100 2014 selected work poetry

'Starkly unaware of herself and struggling to make the passage from child to adult, the narrator in this collection points the finger, repeatedly exposes her heart and wonders why things just never seem to work out. Join in her flirtations with strangers, intoxicating relationships and explorations to the edge of the void.

'This is poetry of the imagination where madness grows, memory holds sway and the night is an octopus “awkwardly getting caught. Tentacles fastening onto telegraph poles…”' (Publication summary)
